Definitions
- the invention relates to an antimicrobial finish on the fabric.
- This invention particularly envisages a durable antimicrobial finish and its application on the fabric.
- Clothing and textile materials are not only carriers of microorganisms such as pathogenic bacteria, odor generating bacteria and mould fungi, but also good media for the growth of microorganisms.
- the inherent properties of the textile fibers provide room for the growth of micro-organisms. Humid and warm environment still aggravate the problem. Infestation by microbes cause cross infection by pathogens and development odor where the fabric is worn next to the skin.
- the staining and loss of the performance properties of textile substrates are the results of microbial attack. Obnoxious smell form the inner garments such as socks, spread of diseases, staining and degradation of textiles are some of the detrimental effects of bad microbes.
- Antimicrobial finish is a recent innovation in finishes. It also prevents garments from unpleasant odor.
- the most common technology for making durable Antimicrobial apparel fabric is to introduce silver ion at the polymerization stage of the fibre manufacturing or to treat the fabric with nano- silver ions during finishing.
- silver ion has many adverse effects on human being as well as on environment such as: i) When human skin cells grown in a Petri-dish were exposed to nano-silver particles 7- 20nm in size, concentration dependent changes to cell morphology including abnormal size, shrinkage and rounded appearance were observed at concentrations above 6.25 microgm/ml.
- Nano silver has also some adverse effect on wound.
- Nanosilver has recently been found at concentration as low as 0.14 microgm/ml to be toxic to several species of nitrifying bacteria, which play an important role in the environment by converting ammonia in the soil to a form of nitrogen that can be used by plants. Increase in mass usage of Silver treated AMB fabric and the effluent generated during home laundering of garments may contaminate soil /water.
- Nanosilver' s primary use as an antimicrobial has attracted the attention of the US Environment protection Agency which enforce the federal insecticides, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act(FIFRA). Also in Europe, the key question is whether nano-silver will be considered a new substance and therefore subjected to the rigorous notification procedure required under REACH law.
- Nanosilver can not be filtered out fully in Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) and likely to cause soil and water contamination. Also the presence of Silver ion in the effluent water increases the load on Effluent treatment plant substantially. Nano-silver ion based AMB technology has been known to require several precautions in application as well as many costly modifications in effluent water treatment process. (Ref ' :- Environmental Impact ofNanosilver— by Kristen M. Kulinowski , Ph. D— Nov 18 - 2008)
- antiseptics and disinfectants are extensively used in hospitals and other health care settings for a variety of topical and hard-surface applications.
- active chemical agents biocides
- biocides are found in these products, many of which have been used for hundreds of years, including alcohols, phenols, iodine, and chlorine. Most of these active agents demonstrate broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity.
- Chlorine- and iodine-based compounds are the most significant microbicidal halogens used in the clinic and have been traditionally used for both antiseptic and disinfectant purposes.
- Chloro compounds such as Chloroxylenol is an effective antimicrobial agent. It is used as bacteriocidal, fungicidal and germicidal agent.

- Decatising is a finishing treatment whereby a fabric's physical and dimensional form is enhanced and then stabilised by the use of heat, moisture, pressure and time.
- a pressure decatising method produces a permanent change in fabric properties by the action of heat and pressurised steam at greater than 100 kPa (1 atm) pressure on a mechanically constrained fabric, and is usually performed during the final stages of fabric production for several reasons: (a) to develop desirable aesthetic qualities in the fabric such as handle, lustre and smoothness, (b) to improve the dimensional stability of the fabric particularly for purposes of garment assembly, (c) to permanently set or preserve these qualities during fabric use.
